For committing spring climbs, there is no better outer layer than the women's Outdoor Research Paladin Pants. Ultralight fabric is constructed for the most rugged conditions with durability that will endure season-after-season of alpine abuse. The no-frills design offers clear-cut performance without weighty excess; full-length side zips, pockets accessible with a harness on, and construction that allows high stepping, unencumbered movement.
